Twisted Logic Proliferates

Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Woe unto them that call evil good.  This is the fourth woe.  There are persons who gloss over evil deeds and evil habits by fair-sounding names, who call cowardice caution, and rashness courage, niggardliness thrift, and wasteful profusion generosity.  The same men are apt also to call good evil, they brand prudence with the name of cunning, call meekness want of proper spirit, sincerity rudeness, and firmness obstinacy.  This deadness to moral distinctions is the sign of deep moral corruption and fully deserves to have a special "woe" pronounced against it. That put darkness for light. "Light" and "darkness" symbolise good and evil throughout Scripture.

They are sometimes mere synonyms, as here, but sometimes they express rather the intellectual side of morality.  Bitter for sweet.  More symbolism, but of a rarer kind.  Jeremiah calls wickedness "bitter" and the psalmist calls the judgements of Yahuwah "sweet".  But the terms are not often used with any moral bearing. 

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.  That call evil actions good, and good actions evil, that excuse the one and reproach the other, or that call evil men good and good men evil.  Some understand this of false prophets rejecting the true worship of Yahuwah and recommending false worship, others as wicked judges, pronouncing the causes of bad men good and of good men evil, others of sensualists, that speak in praise of drunkenness, gluttony and all carnal pleasures, and fleshly lusts and treat with contempt fear, worship, and service of Yahuwah.  

It may very well be applied to the Scribes and Pharisees in Yahushua's time, who preferred the evil traditions of their elders, both to the law of Yahuwah, that is holy, just, and good, and to the Scriptures, the good word of Yahuwah, preached by John the Baptist, Yahushua and his apostles and to the ordinances of scriptural dispensation, that put darkness for light and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter, for calling good evil and evil good, is all one as putting these things one for another, there being as great a difference between good and evil, as between light and darkness, sweet and bitter and it suggests, as if the perversion of these things was not merely through ignorance and mistake, but purposely and wilfully against light and knowledge so the Jews acted when they preferred the darkness of their rites and ceremonies and human traditions, before the light of the glorious Gospel of Yahushua which showed they loved darkness rather than light and chose that which would be bitter to them in the end, than the sweet doctrines of the grace of Yahuwah the bitter root of error, rather than the words of Yahushua's mouth, which are sweeter than the honey, or the honeycomb. 

The Targum is, "woe to them that say to the wicked who prosper in this world, ye are good and say to the meek, ye are wicked, when light cometh to the righteous, shall it not be dark with the wicked and sweet shall be the words of the law to them that do them, but bitterness (some read "rebellion") shall come to the wicked and they shall know, that in the end sin is bitter to them that commit it.''

What is GMO?

-
A GMO , or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or another organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods (also called gene splicing), gene modification or transgenic technology.  This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.  Genetic modification affects many of the products we consume on a daily basis.  As the number of GMOs available for commercial use grows every year, the Non-GMO Project works diligently to provide the most accurate, up-to-date standards for non-GMO verification. In order for a product to be Non-GMO Project Verified, its inputs must be evaluated for compliance with our standard, which categorizes inputs into three risk levels. High Risk The input is derived from, contains derivatives of, or is produced through a process involving organisms that are known to be gen

12 Signs Showing You Are Dealing With An Evil Person

-
Depravity is a pervasive factor of modern day survival. Sadly, at times after much effort, we are forced to recognize that the only remedial endeavour available, is from a distance. Evil is defined as the absence of good. Every person has different definitions of evil and goodness. However, in many cases, true evil is very hard to recognize especially for people who always try to find something good in others. We can not ignore that there are truly evil people around us and we need to learn how to notice the signals that show us when someone means nothing else but to harm us. 1. Reality Denial Regardless of how obvious the truth is these people will always deny it. Their truth is the only that matters even though it is the complete opposite of the reality. Their truth is actually a reflection of their wicked, unhealthy thoughts and ideas. 2. Fact Twisting These people are incredible manipulators. They are able to twist any fact that they do not want to accept. They possess the ability

Tarka Dal

-
Lately, lentils have become a tasty staple in my diet. Low in calories and high in nutrition, lentils are the perfect legume to eat in the summer in salads, spreads, for crudité and crackers, and as an item on a vegetarian dinner plate. Some like to always gravitate towards foods that are easy to cook, and lentils are a hassle-free compliment to any meal. Nutty and earthy in flavour, lentils have a high nutritional value that anyone can benefit from by incorporating this healthy legume into their diet. A meal at home is rarely fulfilling if a ladleful, or more, of dal, is not served. It’s one of the most adaptable ingredients in an Indian kitchen. Take any one dal, the masoor dal for instance, and you can find at least five ways to cook it. And that too is seriously underestimation. Ingredients 250g/9oz chana dal (yellow dried split peas), rinsed until the water runs clear 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp cumin seeds 1 small onion, chopped 3-4 whole
